The hottest months are June and July.
The scorching sunshine and scorching hot weather turned the entire earth into a big furnace.
Tieniu Town.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was blazing in the sky.
"call!!"
On a long stone staircase.
Qin Feiyang was walking up step by step, sweating profusely and panting like an ox.
The stone staircase slopes upward at 45 degrees, with a total of 999 steps leading to a huge palace.
Every step became hot under the sun's exposure.
Sweat dripped and evaporated instantly.
It made a hissing sound.
Qin Feiyang is only a fifteen-year-old boy, but he has maturity and stability that his peers do not have.
He is 1.75 meters tall, with a slightly thin body and handsome features, but his face is pale and bloodless, giving the impression that he is a weak young man who is sick.
No!
Not like.
He is a patient himself.
Moreover, he is already terminally ill!
His life will end in five days.
With the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps and the bad weather, even a normal person would not be able to reach the top, let alone a sick person like him.
But stepping onto this stone staircase was his only chance to survive.
It can even change the fate of his life!
five years ago.
Qin Feiyang is the prince of the Qin Empire, with noble status and extraordinary talents.
When he was only ten years old, he had already become a nine-star martial artist. At that time, he was known as a monster that would never appear in ten thousand years.
It can be said that he has been the focus of everyone's attention since he was a child, and he is the most promising person among all the princes to inherit the throne.
He is also an emperor and his favorite prince.
But.
Just when he was in his glory, many auras were added to him, and a sudden change suddenly came.
Because of this sudden change, he was forced by others to swallow the 'Elling Pill', and was then ruthlessly expelled from the imperial palace, expelled from the Qin Empire, and exiled to Tieniu Town.
The Erling Pill is an extremely vicious pill. Once you take it, you will not only lose all your cultivation, you will never be able to practice again, you will also be plagued by diseases all day long, and you can only live until the age of fifteen.
In five days, he will turn fifteen!
Five years have passed.
The Great Qin Empire still stands on this continent as a king, ruling all directions.
What about him
In order to survive, we are struggling here.
He is not convinced!
Countless times, he swore in his heart that one day, he would return to the Qin Empire and make those who had wronged him pay the price!
The palace above the stone stairs is his only hope.
gradually.
His legs were weak and sore.
Every time he climbed a step, it was extremely difficult for him!
He was sweating heavily and he was already dehydrated.
The lips were dry and cracked, with streaks of blood emerging from them.
Beginning to feel dizzy.
He stopped on a step, panting heavily to regain his lost energy.
at the same time.
He looked at the top of the stone staircase, a determined light shining in his weak eyes.
At the end of the stone staircase, a majestic palace stands, magnificent and magnificent.
The palace door is closed.
Next to it, stands a black stone tablet, which can be more than ten meters high, with two eye-catching characters engraved on it.
- Dan Palace!
Like an iron hook and a silver stroke, it is vigorous and powerful, with a faint and shocking oppression.
This is a place that countless people dream of entering.
Because here, there are all kinds of elixirs.
Some elixirs can detoxify hundreds of poisons, eliminate all kinds of diseases, and ensure a safe life.
There are some elixirs that can cleanse the physical body and make people reborn and embark on the path of cultivation.
There are even rumors that there are some legendary magic pills that not only have life, but can also fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and turn rivers and seas upside down. If you are lucky enough to take it, you can become a god revered by the world overnight.
so.
The Alchemy Palace is a very sacred place!
Every disciple of the Alchemy Palace is awe-inspiring being.
Even for the lowest alchemy master, there are countless people who compliment and flatter him just to get a pill.
Qin Feiyang's target is a pill called 'Marrow Cleansing Pill'.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill is the key to his rebirth!
In order to obtain the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he didn't even know how many times he had been here.
However, every time, he was seriously ill and could not reach the top and reach the Alchemy Palace.
But this time, he has no retreat and no room to give up!
Because in five days, he will die.
If you want to survive, you must reach the top!
He took steps hard, gritted his teeth, and continued climbing.
boom!
At this moment, the closed palace door quickly opened.
A woman about thirty years old, wearing a long red dress, strode out of the palace.
She stood on the edge, looking down at Qin Feiyang below, and said lightly: "Qin Feiyang, do the math for yourself, how many times have you been here? Don't you know how to give up?"
Qin Feiyang didn't answer, buried his head and gritted his teeth to climb.
This woman, whom he would see every time he came here, was named Ma Hongmei, and she was the deacon elder of Dan Palace.
Of course, she is also an alchemist.
It is precisely because of her identity as an alchemist that this woman is conceited, arrogant, and does not take anyone seriously. She has humiliated him a lot over the years.
so.
He didn't bother to speak up lest he humiliate himself.
However.
His attitude made Ma Hongmei even more annoyed.
She pursed her lips with a touch of sarcasm and said: "Don't say that this elder looks down on you. No matter how many times you come, the result will be the same. You should be a jerk as soon as possible. Don't be an eyesore here."
"Elder Ma, you can close your eyes and not look."
Qin Feiyang stopped and looked up at her, with a trace of anger deep in his eyes.
Ma Hongmei laughed angrily and said, "Oh, it makes sense, right? OK, I'll tell you clearly, even if you reach the top, I won't give you the Marrow Cleansing Pill."
Qin Feiyang's hands couldn't help but clenched tightly.
But eventually.
He endured it and continued climbing.
Because he had no choice, he had to bow his head under the eaves.
What's more, Ma Hongmei is not the only alchemist in the Alchemy Palace. He can find other alchemists.
Time passes by.
I don’t know, is it because she was stimulated by Ma Hongmei? Or is it because of his desire to survive? In the following time, he did not stop and gradually approached the top step by step.
Two hours later.
He was only fifty steps away from the top.
Although at this moment, he was physically and mentally weak, his head was dizzy, and every step he took, the muscles in his legs felt like tearing pain, but his heart became hot!
There were only fifty steps left before he could reach the top!
Reaching the top means a lot to him.
Not only does it mean that he can survive, it also means that he can practice in the future.
Only by becoming stronger can he be qualified to find answers and solve the doubts in his heart!
He looked at the top with firm eyes and high fighting spirit!
It will definitely work this time!
Forty steps!
Thirty steps!
Twenty steps!
Ten steps!
In one breath, he climbed to the top, and his whole body lost all strength. He lay on the ground, breathing greedily for the air.
"Oh, it's a miracle today, I actually made you climb up."
Ma Hongmei never left, and was quite surprised to see Qin Feiyang reach the top.
But then, a cold light flashed across her eyes, and she kicked Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang said angrily: "Elder Ma, what are you doing?"
"Of course I'll send you down."
Ma Hongmei smiled jokingly and kicked Qin Feiyang in the chest.
Bang bang bang!
Immediately.
Qin Feiyang was like a rubber ball, rolling down the stone stairs with a painful scream.
"My surname is Ma, I curse you to die miserably!"
His hysterical roar was full of malice.
It was not easy for him to reach the top, but he didn't expect that this woman would be so vicious. Wasn't this a clear cut off his way of survival
"You dare to curse me. You really don't know how to live or die. I will kill you now!"
Ma Hongmei's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she was about to chase him down and eradicate him.
"What happened?"
But at this moment, a powerful shout came from the palace.
Immediately afterwards.
A middle-aged man walked out of the palace.
He is seven feet tall, wearing purple clothes, walking like a dragon and a tiger, with bright eyes and no anger.
Ma Hongmei frowned, turned to look at the middle-aged man, bowed and said, "I have met the Third Palace Master."
The third hall master nodded, looked at Qin Feiyang who kept rolling down, and frowned: "Why is he here again?"
Ma Hongmei smiled and said, "I don't want the Marrow Cleansing Pill yet."
The third hall master asked in confusion: "Then why did he roll down?"
Ma Hongmei gloated: "It's all his own fault. Just now I tried to persuade him again and again not to continue climbing, but he didn't believe it. What's the result? He ran out of strength, his legs became weak, he lost his balance, and he rolled down."
When Qin Feiyang heard these words, he was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
See this.
Ma Hongmei sneered.
This stone staircase has 999 steps. If you roll down like this, there is no way to survive.
If no one came to rescue her, there would be no need for her to do it herself. This little beast would fall to death.
As the person involved, Qin Feiyang naturally knew this.
but.
When he reached the top, his whole body was sore and weak, and he could not move his limbs.
Now, he rolled all the way down again, his head was bruised and his hands were broken, and there was no way he could stop.
"Am I going to die like this today?"
"No!"
"I must survive..."
"I want to return to the Qin Empire alive..."
"Those who have wronged me, I will repay them a thousand times, ten thousand times..."
Qin Feiyang roared crazily in his heart, his eyes turned blood red, as if stained with blood, and his whole body was full of rage. Even though his hands were broken, he still did not give up.
The unwillingness and anger in my heart turned into a source of strength.
He suddenly turned over, facing the sky, leaning on the stone ladder with his back, and slid down.
Both feet were like a pair of brakes, pressing firmly on the stone stairs.
He wants to use this method to alleviate the impact and slow down the speed of decline!
After a hundred breaths.
He finally stopped and lay down on the stone stairs.
But his back and his feet, due to the violent friction with the stone stairs, had already been torn apart, bloody and bloody, and even his spine was broken.
The heartbreaking pain was like a tide, impacting every nerve in his body. He was in agony!
